EAVES-TROUGH HANGER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 225,684, dated March 28, 1880.

To all whom it may concer/n:

Beit known that I, Aucus'r H. BRAUNLICH, of Ida, in the county of Monroe and State of Michigan, have'invented a new and valuable Improvement in Faves-Trough Hangers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specication, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure l of the drawings is a representation of a side elevation of my invention, and Fig. 2 is a perspective View of the hanger.

The object of the present invention is to furnish an improved eaves-trough support or bracket which is connected to the roof of the house or other structure, said support being readily connected or disconnected from the eaves-trough when required; also, to furnish a particular construction of the support or bracket, rendering the trough capable oi' adjustment in a horizontal and vertical direction, as Will be hereinafter described, and subsequently pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the eaves-trough, formed upon its inner and opposite faces with tapering sleeves a. These sleeves are formed of sheet metal, bent around in the required shape, and then soldered or otherwise secured to the eaves-trough.

A brace, B, is formed at its ends with hooks Application filed February 6, 1880.

bolt, d, secured tothe lower endl oi' an inclined arm, C, said arm being` held at the` required distance from the front edge of the eaves trough by the screw-nut e.

The arm C is formed with a slot, f, through which passes a screw-bolt, g, upon an arm, D, so that the arm O may be raised or lowered by sliding the same to the height required, and may be secured in place by screwing down the nut h against the face of the arm.

This particular construction and manner ot' connecting the several parts constituting the eaves-trough support or bracket render the eaves-troughs position capable of being adj usted to suit circumstances, and the elasticity of the eaves-trough permits the hooks b to be sprung into the sleeves a, and held therein by the spring obtained by the semicircular form of the trough, while the same may be readily disconnected from the bracket or support without injury to the trough.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, with the brace B, formed with hooked ends b, and the adjustable arm O, of the eaves-trough A, having upon its inner sides sleeves a, for engaging with the hooked ends of the brace B, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

AUGUST H. BRAUNLIOH.
